Chicken and Cashewnuts Recipe for @debbas

250g Skinless Chicken breast (boneless) cut into cubes

Method:

1. Choose skinless chicken breast meat. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinade chicken pieces with oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce and potato starch (potato starch stops chicken getting rubbery and gives it a lovely silky texture).

4. Cut onion into cubes. Cut garlic into slices. Fry onion & garlic until fragrant.
5. Add in chicken & vegetables. Add tbsp of sesame oil. Stir-fry until chicken is cooked.
